Abstract
We are currently making improvements in a self-learning textbook of synonym analysis strategy. The textbook is composed of explanations and practice for the strategy. In order to enrich the strategy of analyzing grammatical example sentences, we took up "imaging strategy," - verbalizing the image recalled from the sentences - and examined whether its training is effective in a Japanese teacher training program. The result showed that the trainees explained the content of sentences superficially and peripheral events which has not been shown to the sentences. Thus, in order to obtain information efficiently from examples for synonym analysis, detailed checking and reanalysis of the verbalized image is needed.
